How to Make Snickers Bar Candy

  1. **First Layer (Peanut Butter Base):** In a saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup butterscotch chips, and 1/4 cup butter, stirring until smooth and combined.
  2. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan and spread evenly.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the layer to set.

  12. Drizzle the melted caramel evenly over the peanut butter fudge layer.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the caramel to set.
  14. **Fourth Layer (Chocolate Topping):** In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/4 cup butterscotch chips, and 1 tablespoon peanut butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
  15. Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the caramel layer.
  16. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
  17. Once completely cooled, cut into 1-inch squares.
